An example method of hypervisor lifecycle management in a virtualized computing system having a cluster of hosts includes: receiving, from a user at a lifecycle manager executing in the virtualized computing system, identification of a seed host; obtaining, by the lifecycle manager, a software specification from the seed host, the software specification describing a running image of the hypervisor executing on the seed host; generating, by the lifecycle manager, a software image from metadata and payloads stored on the seed host; setting, by the lifecycle manager, a host desired state for the cluster based on the software specification; and storing, by the lifecycle manager, the software image in a software depot in association with the host desired state.
